The LBC

Greetings from Rainbow Harbor, Long Beach. (the "LBC," the most diverse city in the US?!)
We escaped Santa Barbara's Harbor Patrol, and managed to get down here safely - WITH the boat.

Thanks to John Hayes, who joined us for the trip down.
I'm here with Barry and Jay. Once Kevin shows up, we'll head up to the Skipper's Briefing and the send off dinner. (first start is tomorrow - ours isn't until Thursday)

We'll get our delivery sails and gear to the Hawaii container tomorrow and do some provisioning.

The rest of the crew shows up on Tuesday for a light practice. Hopefully a quiet day on Wedsnesday, final fresh food provisiong and final calibration of our instruments with the help of Bob Congdon from B&G. Thanks Bob!

Thanks to Jeff Thorpe and Quantum Sails, Scott Easom and Easom Rigging, Gilles Combrisson and our entire crew for getting us to the starting line (at least close!).
